### 1/5 — Don't Install its not useable

*2023-02-19*

Die App kann man öffnen aber nicht schliessen ausser das Smartphone auszuschalten.
Oberfläche zeigt paar Gitarrendrähte zum klmipern und einen Einstellungsrad in der Ecke das nicht bedienbar ist.
Ein schlechter Scherz oder eine misratene App.
Gleich gelöscht👎👎👎!!!

### 1/5 — Not Updated for Recent iOS Versions

*2022-08-03*

Like your guitar app I just reviewed, it seems most of your apps have not been supported for a very long time. Have they been abandoned? It’s not fair to keep apps on the App Store that haven’t been updated in a long time. This one is free, but people may pay for apps and then find out that they are not functioning properly (if at all) because they don’t have current iOS certificates. 

It seems like your put a ton of work into your apps and that most people have loved them, so why not continue to keep them up to date and develop new features? I hope you’ll try to make sure the certificates are up to date ASAP and that your apps will start seeing regular updates again. 

Thanks so much!

### 5/5 — Free way to try bass lines out, very nice.

*2021-01-29*

Obviously they’d like you to buy ‘ifretless’ bass, to get AU aspect etc, but this is really great if you don’t want to pick up the monster guitar just to try a short lick out or whatever.  Big USPs - fretless, if you want it just play that way, choose your number of strings up to some number I can’t believe, and gives a taster of their paid app.  Reverb adjustable, it’s impact-sensitive, no downside really for a free app.

### 5/5 — Great sound

*2020-04-22*

Can you guys make it an audio unit for GarageBand iOS?

**Developer response:** IFretless Bass has audio unit support

### 5/5 — Hmmm

*2020-04-01*

I’m sure this would be a great app but I’m unsure what’s the difference between this app and IFretless Bass. Can someone assist.

**Developer response:** This app has the same core functionality as iFretless bass. iFretless Bass adds MIDI, audio unit support, many more bass instrument choices, an Equalizer, and other options that this one doesn’t have.

### 5/5 — Great advertisement for the full fledged App

*2019-06-04*

At least that’s what I’m hoping.

With all of the great audio/music production apps available for iOS, I’m always bummed out that the only decent sounding (and responding) Electric bass guitar simulator that I can find is the one within GarageBand - which isn’t even that great. 

But this has got me thinking that with the features of the ifretless bass, it will surpass my expectations. 
Ideally I would just be recording the real thing, which I do, but sometimes I’m focused on recording some other “real deal” - usually guitar - so having a version of this that operates within AUM and AURIA PRO (and with bram bros rozetta sequencing) should open some doorways. 

It’s kind of expensive at $15, but like I said - this free app was a great advertisement. Let’s hope it’s worth it.

### 5/5 — Super Cool Bass App

*2019-04-18*

Top Sounds

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-04-04*

Honestly I can’t believe this is possible on an iPhone. The velocity sensitivity of this app is beyond anything else I’ve seen.

### 1/5 — Not working now

*2019-03-03*

Was working, was enjoying, now opens and closes so unable to use this app.

**Developer response:** Contact us via email or facebook. We can usually fix bugs like this within a week. In this case we are not seeing the error on our own devices so it would be helpful to know what type of device you have and which iOS version you are running.
